Introduction to ISSS Multicultural Workshops

Moos Tower 5-125 Twin Cities Campus


Zoom: z.umn.edu/Seminar_Series 


This session will highlight the International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Intercultural Workshop series which combines intercultural competency and skills development workshops and "Culture In-Depth" sessions discussing the unique practices, customs, and values of some of the largest international student populations on our campus. 

During this sample session, attendees should gain greater cultural self-awareness, an understanding of the contributions of international students, and communication skills to improve interactions and relationships with international students, staff, and faculty.
